Where is the Mountain Cave?
This question made Xiaosuisui shake her head gently. "I don't know," she said. "Brother Yanchen told me he doesn't even know how to get to that Mountain Cave."
"But where nearby could there be a Mountain Cave?"
Zhu Xiuxiu usually wasn't the type to stay cooped up at home, but she hadn't noticed any Mountain Caves around the village.
"There's a THUMP THUMP THUMP sound, and the smell of incense that Auntie Zhou burns for their Ancestors."
Xiaosuisui repeated everything Zhou Yanchen had said. Zhu Xiuxiu gleaned useful information from this and, without saying anything further, immediately headed to the Hall.
In the Hall, Ji Youzhi had finished asking what he wanted to know. Just then, a white pigeon landed on his wrist. He read the message conveyed by the constables: several children had also gone missing from Ling Village overnight.
Ji Youzhi planned to go to the town immediately and meet with the constables.
